Hey guys, I opened my pool a few weeks ago up in Ontario Canada. The outside temps have been an average of 50 degrees and the water temp matches it. I have not used the heater, just circulating water. I've been seeing about 1/4" of water loss per day (with our without a solar blanket). I...

Baptism by fire lol

Quick update for everyone. Turns out the venting adapter that I bought from a Hayward dealer was the incorrect size. I ordered the right SKU number and part, but the wrong size adapter was shipped (without me knowing). The hole in the adapter is only 4", when it needs to be 6". That...

That’s a good idea. I’ll try a lower rpm... but I fear the heater will throw an LO code. Too little water flow. I’m fairly handy, I’ve looked all over for a step by step video without any luck

Thanks so much for everyone’s input. I’ve been running my Hayward VS pump at 2475 rpm during the day and at 8pm I have it slow down to 2200rpm over night. So I’ve always heated at 2475rpm. I have never heated over night (at the lower rpm). I’m going to turn the pump up to 3000rpm and turn on...

Thanks for that. So does turning that end cap open and close the bypass?

Gotcha. And the bypass is inside that somewhere? I’m assuming it needs to be dismantled in order to access if it? Or is it as simple as a switch on the exterior of that black intake/outlet? Thanks again!

So it’s in the PVC plumbing that is installed into the heater, not on the heater itself? I don’t have a shut off/bypass valve installed on my plumbing near my heater. Or is it something that Hayward has built into the heater somewhere? Sorry for the silly questions, I literally know...

This is interesting! I literally don’t know anything about this stuff. Where would this bypass valve be located?

Thanks guys! It's a Hayward 150,000 BTU Gas Heater. From haywards input, it appears to have been connected correctly - they seem to be satisfied with the venting connection. Just seems like a heck of a coincidence - is it even possible for calcium to build up in such a short amount of time...

Here’s the story. Brand new pool, heater and all components. Hayward 150,000btu heater is causing me grief since the venting was installed. I hired a gas fitter to install the gas system middle of the summer last year. He hooked up the gas, but couldn’t install the venting (it’s located...

Thanks for all the replies. I'm pretty sure the issue isn't with the sheet metal. I thought the same thing initially. But that venting duct isn't touching it. Saying that I think it would be best to call in a professional to diagnose the issue. I hope this issue isn't a serious one. I will...

Hi Everyone, I have a new Hayward 250,000 BTU pool heater heating out small 12 x 24 inground pool. Our heater is installed inside our pool house. When the installer connected the gas line he didn't have the duct work available to exhaust the heater out of the shed. However, he told me as...

Hi everyone. I had a 12x24 kidney pool installed this summer. The pool was an inground "kit" that included all the required parts to install it, excluding the concrete of course. It was ordered from Pool Supplies Canada. It is a steel wall in ground pool. I just realized that when my...

Well I think I've figured it out. I had the Aquarite set for 30% chlorination... when I turned it to 50% it started chlorinating. Does this mean the system has a sensor that tells it when it hits a particular %age and to no longer make chlorine?

I just looked and the 3rd press of the diagnosis button is showing as 0.00.... which is the cell current?

Hi Everyone, Glad to find this forum and such a wealth of knowledge! I have a T3 turbo cell which is installed in front of the flow switch. I'm using the Turbo cell as the 12" of straight pipe before the flow switch, as per Haywards installation requirements (the flow switch is about 3" on...
